Monticello, IL – 12/30/2024 – Del’s Popcorn Shop (“Del’s” or “Company”) is thrilled to market another victory for a fantastic local organization.  We successfully raised $50 for Monticello High School which will be used to support their Scholastic Bowl.

“The Monticello High School is a great example of a worthy cause. They met all the criteria for us as a long-term community partner.” Explained Ellie Gross, the Del’s national sales manager. “We love these teams, and we love these kids. We are so happy we can play a part in their story.”

The Monticello High School Scholastic Bowl team is a competitive academic team that participates in quiz bowl-style competitions. They excel in subjects like history, science, literature, and math, competing against other schools in fast-paced matches. Known for their teamwork and knowledge, they strive for excellence in local and state tournaments.

Del’s Popcorn Shop.  Del’s is a gourmet retail popcorn and confectionary based in Springfield, IL. Del’s was stitched into the fabric of Central Illinois at a time after the Great Depression and before World War II.   The ingredients and approach to creation is reminiscent of a bygone era. At a time when bootstrapping the American Dream was very much in bloom, an entrepreneur by the name of John Baldwin began to sell popcorn and candy from his print shop. Del’s have been serving the Central Illinois community ever since.  Del’s has an extensive menu of cooked-from-scratch popcorn and confectionery products including seasoned popcorn, cheddar cheese popcorn, caramel corn, fudge, peanut brittle, and caramel apples.  The Company has a devoted customer base of all ages which span generations. In recent years, Del’s has expanded to offer its favorite products nationwide at www.delspopcornshop.com.   Del’s has also become a go-to option for non-profits, schools, and other community organizations to raise money through Del’s Virtual Popcorn Fundraising platform.
